Can more than one mouse fit in this trap? I have a HUGE infestation in the hen house.

It is very small unit. We did not use due to our "mice" or rats being too big. I would think only one at a time, even if they are truly mice.

One at a time. If you have an infestation you'll want to put several of these down or get a larger multi-catch trap. Preferably both.

If they are very small, they may fit in together. The tubes are really not that big.

I would have to say no, unless they are very very small mice. I had large rat and the rat itself was three times the size of the cube ! It ate through the back to get the peanut butter ! Wonderful concept though. Needs the be in larger sizes and better quality material.

The traps are just big enough for 2 field mice;however once 1 has been trapped it's not likely another will attempt to go in for the food. These traps work extremely well , and fast. Put a little bit of peanut butter on a small piece of a cracker, place it inside the trap. Then smear just a hint of the peanut butter on the outside of the door. I suggest you purchase several traps and spread them out...check them often!! Empty the trap w/each catch...then put them back again for more. (make sure there is still bait.) I caught 4 mice in as many traps w/in 1 hour of setting them up..as soon as the lights went out.

I don't think for a very large mouse but average size would be no problem. The cat would not be able to get paw all the way inside with the way the trap is built unless you forgot to close the top lid of trap.

Yes, a large mouse can fit in. You will likely need tongs to extricate the mouse once dead. No, the cat is safe as there is a slanted partition well within the entrance and before the metal plates.

i do not believe so. I hope, if you buy this, you have better luck than we did. There were some mice making a home in our yard. Bought this and I think they actually laughed, :( . Moved it right next to the bird feeder, where the mice would also gather. They walked right in front of it. The only animals it seemed to bother were our dogs.

How big is your mouse? I assume if your mouse can enter your house via a 1/4 inch hole, it will fit in the trap. If your cat or can get its paw past the first maze wall, there are a handful, it is a contortionist. I cannot see how that is possible. Good luck. I am very happy with mine.

This trap will only catch 1 mouse or chipmunk at a time. If you have a mouse infestation, a water bucket trap may work better (although heartless).

I agree with J. Cook. Not nearly big enough with the exception of a baby rat.Works very well for mice as other reviews save one (overweight mice comment) say.Perhaps their overweight mice are really rats?!!!

Yes, these may be small but there is plenty of room for even the large mice. No problem at all! I used peanut butter and a piece of cheese and I got rid of babies and their mother. I have chickens so I had a few hanging around stealing the grain. Haven't seen anymore, at least for now!

You could, but it's a waste. Skip the mouse trap and just put out the product.

My best guess is NO. The opening and "maze" through which the mice go is way too small for even a small size rat... It has been wonderful for getting rid of mice problems though!

I catch a lot of packrats with this trap. No bait needed. Definitely too big for mice but it will (unfortunately) trap some rabbits and golden-mantled ground squirrels (chipmunk size).

I think you might have to install one on each level - unless the floor plan is wide open. Also, get some oil of peppermint - and dab cotton balls with the oil. Place these on the floor around the rooms - smells great and mice hate the smell! This is the double whammy in getting rid of mice!

I have only killed mice in mine. Rats may be too smart for it, not sure. Only one at a time though - they are too smart to go in it when a dead one is in there.

The mouse havahart was too small for the chipmunk who had moved into my house. I haven't used it for mice yet because I used the smart humane trap and it worked very quickly, easily and humanely.

Yes, the spacing is too big for mice. I'm using this cage for a hamster. There are larger gaps where the bars meet in the corners that a mouse can squeeze through.

We have had a mouse coming and going from our chicken coop but have not had any issues with it getting into the feeder. However if you placed the feeder near some chicken wire a mouse could probably climb in.

I caught 2 at a time on a couple of occasions. Silly me, I thought we had "a" mouse in the house. Turns out I caught well over 20 over the course of 2 weeks.
